How do I reset the brake wear indicator on my BMW 5 Series?

I noticed the brake wear indicator on my BMW 5 Series came on. How do I reset it to ensure accurate readings? Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Sarah, to reset the brake wear indicator on your BMW 5 Series, follow these steps: 1. Turn on the ignition but do not start the engine. 2. Press and hold the Odometer/Trip Reset button for about 10 seconds until the brake symbol appears. 3. Release the button and press it again until the microfilter symbol appears. 4. Release the button and press it again until the brake symbol appears again. 5. Release the button and the reset procedure is complete. If that doesn't work, try turning the ignition off and repeating the process. Hope this helps!

Hey Sarah, another way to reset the brake wear indicator is through the iDrive system. 1. Go to the Vehicle Status menu. 2. Select Service Required. 3. Select Brake Pads. 4. Select Reset. 5. Confirm the reset. If you're still having trouble, it might be a good idea to take your BMW to a certified mechanic for a proper diagnosis. Best of luck!

Hi Sarah, I had the same issue with my BMW 5 Series and found that simply disconnecting the car battery for a few minutes can also reset the brake wear indicator. Just be sure to have your radio code handy as it might reset as well. Good luck!
